Baby Mya

January 20, 2012

A week ago today my sister had a little girl. And we are totally smitten :) I come from a large family, I am the oldest of 6 kids (3 boys, 3 girls) and both my parents families are large too. I have lots of cousins, Aunts and Uncles. But, when we have a new baby, you’d think it was the first baby we’d ever had! We camp out in hospital waiting rooms waiting for the good news. And while we wait we eat Krispie Kreme donuts, and all guess the gender and weight of the baby. Each person that guesses gives $1 and then we give the money to the new baby for his/her Piggy bank :)
Anyway, Mya Nicole was born just before midnight on her due date (how often does that happen?!) and we all gathered around to “oohhh” and “ahhhh” over her. I snapped a few pictures, but honestly, I was too busy soaking in the moment. I mean, it was my sisters first baby, I had to soak that in! And I figured I’d be back to see her the next morning and get some shots in the ‘good’ morning light coming in through the windows anyway. But, when I walked in the next morning, she had just been taken to the Special Needs Nursery due to a couple of reasons, and I haven’t been able to see her since then :( BUT, she is doing great and is coming home today. :) :) :) (Yes, that called for THREE smiley faces!)

Here she is the night she was born… and some of us holding her for the first time…

I will of course have to get some ‘good’ pictures of this sweet girl, which I’ll share with you ;)

In other news, Happy Birthday to my Mom!! I hope your day is fabulous Mom…we all love you!

    Beautiful baby! Isn’t it just the hardest thing to not be able to see and touch them? Thankfully all is well and you can start taking pictures again and hopefully share with us :)
